Scientific paper

The observed flare activity on the eclipsing binary star YY Geminorum, as determined by the time-average flare energy, is more than as order of magnitude greater out-of-eclipse than that during eclipses. The out-of-eclipse value is however, heavily biased by four large flares. In the cumulative distribution diagram these larger flares have a substantially different statistical occurrence rate than the remainder of the flares. It is suggested that the small separation between the two stars leads to significantly enhanced magnetic field between the two components and thus to the occurrence of energetic flares, observable when the stars are out of eclipse.
